Hmmm - I've got a fairly old copy of the zpool cache file (circa July), but 
nothing structural has changed in pool since that date. What other data is held 
in that file? There have been some filesystem changes, but nothing critical is 
in the newer filesystems.

Any particular procedure required for swapping out the zpool.cache file?
